Specialist note


The present Submariner reference 5512 reveals the best of all ingredients this landmark model can possibly offer to the avid collector. Aside from the aesthetic appeal, the timepiece feature the sought after Pointed Crown Guards also referred to as “cornino” by Italian Rolex enthusiasts and the rare and much sought after black gloss dial with 2 lines gilt printing. The watch features a perfectly glossy dial, like a mirror that in combination with a light tropicalization gives the watch a remarkable vintage look. For Rolex collectors, this is certainly one of the rarest and most desirable variations of the reference 5512.
